These are sample implementations of NSMutableArray and NSMutableDictionary. They do not rely on existing concrete implementations, but are instead "from scratch" in that they implement an array/hash table directly with more primitive constructs.

These are primarily intended for educational purposes. The MAMutableArray implementation is discussed here:

These may well be useful as actual code, though. I believe the unit tests are quite thorough and should demonstrate that they are solid enough to use in real apps. They could come in handy if you need some customizable behavior that's difficult to add on to the framework implementations. (One good example would be adding weak reference support to MAMutableDictionary, which would be easy to do but is really hard to add into a standard NSMutableDictionary.)
